House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday floated the possibility of renewing his demand to subpoena the translator present during a July 2018 meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Last year, we sought to obtain the interpreters notes or testimony, from the private meeting between Trump and Putin," Schiff tweeted. "The Republicans on our committee voted us down. Will they join us now?"
ADVERTISEMENT "Shouldnt we find out whether our president is really putting 'America first?'" Schiff wrote, a nod to one of Trump's campaign slogans.
Schiff's call comes as a bombshell Washington Post report reverberates throughout Washington, reigniting questions about Trump's alleged ties with the Kremlin.
The Post over the weekend reported that Trump has tried to conceal conversations he had with Putin on multiple occasions, at one point confiscating notes from his interpreter. Trump has called the report "ridiculous" while White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called it "outrageously inaccurate."
ABC News on Sunday reported that House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committee lawyers are planning to meet on Monday to discuss subpoenaing Trump's interpreters at meetings with Putin where there were no aides present.

Hillary and Saudi King Abdullah circa 2012.
The Saudis placed multi-million dollar bets on 2016 Hillary to win. They showered the Clintons with petrodollars.

ITEM<><>EXCLUSIVE: Persian Gulf Sheikhs Gave Bill & Hillary $100 Million [VIDEO]
A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton received at least $100 million from autocratic Persian Gulf states and their leaders, potentially undermining Democratic presidential candidate Hillarys claim she can carry out independent Middle East policies.
ITEM <><> As a presidential candidate, the amount of foreign cash the Clintons have amassed from the Persian Gulf states is simply unprecedented, says national security analyst Patrick Poole. These regimes are buying access. Youve got the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. Its beyond comprehension, Poole told TheDCNF in an interview.
ITEM <><> Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs, according to the foundations website. Activist groups have charged the five states Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) committed numerous human rights abuses.
ITEM <><>the Saudis helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive).
ITEM <><> Several Persian Gulf states contributed millions to the Clinton presidential library in Arkansas.
ITEM<><> Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary's Presidential Campaign, / Zerohedge ^ | Jun 14, 2016| Tyler Durden / FR Posted by xzins
(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.)
Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clintons election"......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million. The Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties. --SNIP--
ITEM<><> Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family, including with Hillarys campaign, are well reported. In 2008, it was revealed that the Gulf kingdom had donated between $10m and $25m to the Clinton Foundation, a charity set up by Hillarys husband and former US President Bill Clinton.
ITEM<><> Last year the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court paid public relations firm the Podesta Group $200,000 for a month- long project to provide public relations services. The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign.
Saudi Royals greet then-Secy Hillary (she checks to make sure she's on-camera). The suck-up begins.
go ahead, Schiff, set a precedent that no conversation the sitting President has with any world leader is confidential. See how fast our allies flee.
Adam schiitt had no problem with Obama telling Medvedev don’t worry tell Putin Ill be able to do more after the election. Well schitt will be schitt
Who drugs and kills black men for sexual thrills...
I stopped after “Schitt floats...”. I already knew that.
Absolutely on point.
Schiff is totally not interested in finding out about the real Russia collusion: Hillary. If he is concerned about Russia influence then that’s the direction he needs to go. Since he’ll never do that he has let the cat out of the bag that he is a partisan sleezeball not interested in the truth, only to “get” Trump.
The only place Schiff “floats” is in the sewage treatment pond!
When did Adam quit beating his wife?
And the President’s law enforcement role over the DOJ might just demand the campaign finance records of the monies Schiff received (as well as hitlery, and apparently rep. Ted Lieu) from the pervo-pedo-homo Ed Buck, who just had a SECOND dead black “youth” found in his apartment, along with testimony to the police about Buck’s penchant for spiking Gatorade with a drug and injecting the still alive youth survivor with... crystal meth (which Buck apparently had on hand, as a form of payment to the aforesaid male gay prostitutes. Described in the West Hollywood and liberal press as “male sex workers”).
That could happen to be demanded of Schiff. What an a-hole.... oops.. too descriptive.
Liz, you’re amazing. Thanks for your researching and posts.
LOL! Thanks for this post. Should run a “caption this” contest. This is Ed Buck— one freaking weirdo pedoperv and major donor to both hitlery and schiff.
The dude on the right saying to schiff “..... and then you put your pee pee, where, or... is that later?”
Is this asshole is still pushing this? Someone should tell him its over.
Adam Shit??
Which begs the question, when republicans were in charge of that committee, why didn’t THEY go after the traitors within those agencies in a more effective way? Who stopped them from doing their best work, there? Oh, I know...Gowdy put on an excellent show every time he came up to bat, but other than giving us a small peek into the evil of the Obama administration, et al, where did it get us? When the bureaucrats in those agencies are leftover leftists, and we had a comatose AG and a crooked assistant AG, really, nothing got done, except to tantalize us with evidence of crimes nobody would do anything about. I have to lay every rotten thing that was done in the House in the last 2 years, and every NEEDFUL thing that was NOT done, at the feet of ONE man -— PAUL RYAN! That creature had better start repenting TODAY, because if he lives to be one hundred, it will take every second of that time to repent of what he’s done to this country!
Executive privilege.
No but he does receive contributions from Ukrainian weapons manufacturers (true). He has no conflict of interest regarding Russia-related imaginary dragons (false).
Trump could release all of that if he wanted Not sure why he won’t.
How much did Adam pay a 19 yr old man to settle sexual harassment charges? Or is he denying this story?
